Amaç: Elektronik sağlık okuryazarlığı, günümüzde insanların sağlıklarını korumaları ve geliştirmeleri için artan bir rol oynamaktadır. Bireylerin E-Sağlık okuryazarlık düzeylerini artırmak, sağlık ihtiyaçlarını karşılama kapasitelerini artırmalarına yardımcı olur. Bu çalışmanın amacı, sağlık bilimleri alanı dışındaki üniversite öğrencilerinin E-Sağlık okuryazarlık düzeylerinin sağlık okuryazarlığı, dijital okuryazarlık, medya ve televizyon okuryazarlığı ve ekran süresi ile ilişkisini belirlemektir.

Yöntem: Bu kesitsel çalışma, Türkiye’de Bartın Üniversitesi’nde eğitim gören 476 lisans öğrencisi ile gerçekleştirilmiştir. Veri toplama aracı olarak anket formu, Sağlık Okuryazarlığı Ölçeği, Ergenlerde E-Sağlık Okuryazarlığı Ölçeği, Dijital Okuryazarlık Ölçeği ve Medya ve Televizyon Okuryazarlık Düzeyleri Ölçeği kullanılmıştır.

Bulgular: Öğrencilerin sosyodemografik özelliklerine göre E-Sağlık Okuryazarlık puanları anlamlı farklılık göstermemiştir. Çoklu doğrusal regresyon analizine göre dijital okuryazarlık, medya ve televizyon bağımlılığı, medya ve televizyon okuryazarlığı ile sağlık okuryazarlığının E- sağlık okuryazarlığını önemli ölçüde etkilediğini görülmüştür.

Sonuç: Öğrencilerin dijital ve medya okuryazarlığını artırmak, E-Sağlık okuryazarlığı becerilerinin ileriki yaşamlarında daha sağlıklı yetişkinler olmalarına önemli katkı sağlayacağı öngörülmektedir. Bu bağlamda, müfredatta öğrencilerin dijital okuryazarlık düzeylerini geliştiren derslerin yer alması önerilmektedir
